The Bar Towel

Lindeman's Gueuze arrived in Kingston. Not shelved yet but I got 12 out of the back area in a tidy little box. No frigging handle on it and they sure could improve the carrying qualities by making it an old school 2x6 pack but, still, a neat little 12 pack for the stash.

Ruben and the Jets, Lagunitas.

I ponied up for a brewmaster's mix.

Where are you? Who are you? Email me at beerblog - at - gmail.

Hi all, Thanks for the comments. They were forwarded and the owner of the Big M in Potsdam has confirmed: "- I have a reset for my beer cooler happening in a few weeks to allow a few craft beers in. "- I'm working on a email to send out with pricing and an up to date inventory. I think fac...

This college town is about 30 minutes from the Prescott bridge and, in addition to CJ's keg store (which has a reasonable stock) the Big M grocery store is stepping up big time to add more good beer: http://beerblog.genx40.com/archive/2010/o...

Not sure if this is the right forum but for the eastern Ontarians out there I was over at the Price Chopper in Watertown NY yesterday and they are adding more and more craft breweries to their shelves. I picked up large format Ommegangs ($7.49 for 750 ml) as well as a mixed 12 of Brooklyn and sixes ...
